If your only goal is to accumulate capital over your lifespan, then you won't have children at all, since they're tremendously expensive and have no dollar return.

Not quite sure that is true: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Mk1AG.jpg https://i.stack.imgur.com/Mk1AG.jpg >Also, kids are awesome. If I am a dollar optimizer, the only thing I care about is money. How much can I sell "awesome" for? Can I skip a step and sell the children directly?
- lotsofpulp 6y agoChildren have massive potentials for dollar return. Not least because you can't buy the type of care your child might give you in old age for any price. But also because if they succeed, then you have access to their networks, which can also be worth quite a lot. You won't be able to calculate a precise number, but the saying "It's not what you know, it's who you know" shows the dollar price of networks is very high.
